UNITED STATES A E T OFFICE PAUL G. MASTERS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENN'sYL'vANI'A, AssIGN'oRTo PENNSYLVANIA WIRE GLASS COMPANY, OF PHILADELPHIA, "PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION or NEW JERSEY INSTALLATION OF CORRUGATED GLASS Application filed August 1, 1930. Serial No. 472,439.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide for fastening four overlapping sheets of corrugated glass, plaln or wire, to a support while provldlng a tlght joint between them.

Other objects of the invention will appear from the following description at the end of which the invention will be claimed.

In the following description reference is made to the accompanying drawings formlng part hereof and in which Figure 1 is a diagrammatic plan v1ew showing two of the four lapping sheets and also showing a flashing and in cross-section a stud.'

Fig. 2 is a similar view, yet somewhat diagrammatic, showing the other two of the four lapping sheets and also indlcatlng 1n broken lines a bar.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2. i

Fig. 4 is a top or plan View of the flashlng.

Fig. 5 is an end View of the same.

Fig. 6 is a perspective vlew of the flashing.

Fig. 7 is a sectional View taken on the line 7 7 of Fig. 2. Y

Fig. 8 is a sectional v1ew taken on the l ne 8-8 of Fig. 2, and

Fig. 9 is a Sectional view taken on the l1ne 99 of Fig. 8.

Referring to the drawings, sheets of corrugated glass, plain or wire, are vertically aligned in pairs 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. The lower sheet of each pair underlaps the upper sheet of that pair. The sheet of one of the pairs overlaps the corresponding sheet 1 of the other pair, and the sheet of one of the pairs overlaps the corresponding sheet 2 of the other pair, at the s de edges. The corners of all the sheets are mitered to provlde space between the sheets fora purpose to be presently described. There s a flashing covering said space and havlng lnterconnected corrugated portions of which one, 5, is in one plane and lies between the Sheets 1 and 2 of one pair, and of which the other, 6, is in another plane and lies between the Sheets of the other pair 3 and 4. The connection between the two portions of the flashing is shown at 7. 8 is a Support forming some part of the building construction or connected therewith. 9 is a stud extending from the Support through the space which has been referred to as provided at the mitered corners four sheets. The stud passes through an opening as 10 provided through the flashing and there are means secured to the stud and overlying the Sheets of glass. As shown these means comprise a bar 11 strung on the stud and a nut 12 beneath which there may be provided a soft metal washer. Between the marginal laps of glass there is arranged sealing compound as at 13.

Itwill be obvious to those skilled in the art to which the invention relates that modifications may be made in details of construction and arrangement and matters of mere form without departing from the spirit of the invention which is not limited to such matters or otherwise than the prior art and the appended claims may require.

I claim: I

1. In building construction the combination of sheets of corrugated glass vertically aligned in pairs of which the lower sheet underlaps the upper sheet, and the sheets of one of the pairs overlapping the corresponding sheets of the other of said pairs at their side edges, the corners of said sheets being mitered to provide space between the sheets, a flashing covering said space and having interconnected corrugated portions of which one is in one plane and lies between the sheetsof one pair and of which the other is in another plane and lies between the sheets of the other pair, a support, a stud extending from the support through said space, and means secured to the stud and overlying the sheets of glass and the flashing.

2. In building construction the combination of sheets of corrugated glass vertically aligned in pairs of which the lower sheet underlaps the upper sheet, and the sheets of one of the pairs overlapping the corresponding sheets of the other of said pairs at their side edges, the corners of said sheets being mitered to provide space between the sheets, a flashing covering said space and having interconnected corrugated portions of which one is in one plane and lies between the sheets of one pair and of which the other is in another plane and lies between the sheets of the other pair, asupport, a threaded stud extending from the support through said space and through the flashing, a bar strung on the stud abov the glass, and a nut on the stud.
